Henry Tarrant Eyres, pictured aged 16, left St Edward’s in 1915 to attend the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. In 1917, he was commissioned in the Queen’s Royal West Surrey Regiment as a Second Lieutenant and went on to become a night bomber pilot in the RAF. Returning from a raid two days before the armistice on 11th November 1918, he collided with another aircraft and was killed. He was the last OSE to die in action in the Great War, and one of the youngest; he was 19. Between July 1917 and July 1918, the following OSE lost their lives as the horrors of the Great War raged on. We continue to honour and remember them. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
